Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·河北省保定市高一期末)
In Phoenix,Arizona,about one in five children is identified with dyslexia(阅读障碍).That means about four students in a classroom of twenty have the problem.
Christine Alm,who has the virtue of being ready to help others,is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia.According to Alm,each diagnosis(诊断)is unique.That can make it difficult to understand a child's learning needs.Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia.The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.
Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds.Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read.But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart.Whoopi Goldberg,Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia.
For Alm,the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic.She believes that it's helpful to have open and honest discussions.“Dyslexia is nothing good or bad,”she says.“ So children don't need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”
Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia.On March 2,the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering.Many people turned up,suggesting to Alm the “power of community”.Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts.Guests will discuss the available educational options,how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more.Additionally,the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.
“We're excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是克莉丝汀·阿尔姆拥有随时准备帮助他人的美德,她是“阅读障碍之路”的联合创始人,也是四个患有阅读障碍的孩子的母亲。她与其他创始人开创该项目帮助那些具有同样“阅读障碍”的孩子们,并且指导他们能够更好的走完这段旅途。
1.What do the co-founders of Dyslexia Road have in common?
A.Their kids are unique and perfect.
B.Their kids have the same problem.
C.They suffer from learning disability.
D.They ignore children's learning needs.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Christine Alm...four children with dyslexia.”以及“Alm has...the learning disability.”可知,阅读障碍之路的联合创始人的孩子们都有着同样的问题即阅读障碍。故选B。
2.What does Alm suggest doing for people with dyslexia?
A.Helping them do more brain exercises.
B.Making them realise they lack creativity.
C.Creating special reading materials for them.
D.Encouraging them to turn to their own families.

3.What does the underlined word “stigma” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Shame. B.Selection.
C.Principle. D.Origin.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容“She believes...feel shameful and embarrassed.”可知,阿尔姆认为阅读障碍没有好坏之分,故当谈论该话题的时候,不要感到羞耻和尴尬,她之所以这样说,是为了解决她自己的孩子在解决“阅读障碍”过程中面临的最大挑战,即当谈论话题时,孩子们会感觉到羞耻。故画线词的含义与A选项“shame(羞愧)”为同义词。故选A。
4.What's the purpose of hosting the three additional events?
A.To find out kids with dyslexia.
B.To provide the professional services
C.To sell books about mental disability.
D.To introduce great people with dyslexia.

解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Dyslexia Road...resources like books.”最后一段“We're excited...direct this journey”可知,之所以举办另外三个活动其目的是给同样遭遇的人们做出合理的指导,为他们提供专业的支持和帮助,这样能够更合理的解决“阅读障碍”这个问题。故选B。
B
Machine ethics(伦理) is a new field of research that aims to develop moral machines.It's all about creating machines that can make moral decisions based on computer technology.If artificial intelligence (AI) is to be used in the context of machine ethics,then similarly one can call it “Artificial Morality” (AM).
While AI's goal is to model people's cognitive(认知的) abilities,AM is about equipping artificial systems with the ability for moral judgment and action.
One field of application for moral machines is the care of the elderly.Systems to be used in this context face moral choices like “should the system monitor the user around the clock and what should be done with the data collected?” It is about the privacy of the user and the care of the relatives.A second example of the need for moral machines is autonomous driving.Of particular difficulty are the moral dilemmas(困境) that may be met,such as the need to decide whether to give up a small number of lives to save a larger number if unavoidable.
It could be argued,however,that it is not the care system or the autonomous car that make a moral choice in these cases,but the programmers of those devices.But as the advances in artificial intelligence become greater,developers are less able to plan and predict what decisions a system will make in a specific situation.For example,AlphaGo Zero,which first knows only the basic rules of the game Go and then finds the optimal decision-making strategies by playing through a large number of games against itself.In no time,this system beat its former AlphaGo,the first artificial system to defeat some of the world's top human Go players.
Therefore,it is necessary to develop machines that have a degree of autonomous moral decision-making though the ethical basis of artificial systems is still not clear.Research groups in academia and in the industry should start thinking about the relations of ethics and safety in AI.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了机器伦理——一个旨在发展道德机器的新研究领域。
5.Which of the following is TRUE about AM?
A.It is a moral decision based on technology.
B.It aims to copy people's cognitive abilities.
C.It enables AI to make moral decisions.
D.It gives advice to human on making decisions.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“While AI's goal is to model people's cognitive(认知的) abilities,AM is about equipping artificial systems with the ability for moral judgment and action.”可知,AM(人工道德)让AI(人工智能)能够做出道德决定。故选C。
6.How does the writer illustrate the uses of AM?
A.By analyzing cause and effect.
B.By raising questions.
C.By mentioning its advantages.
D.By giving examples.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One field of application for moral machines is the care of the elderly.”和“A second example of the need for moral machines is autonomous driving.”可知,作者通过举例说明AM(人工道德)的使用。故选D。
7.What does the writer say about the programmers behind moral machines?
A.They are the one virtually in charge of the machines.
B.They are incapable of predicting decisions of the system.
C.They are the ones who advance artificial intelligence.
D.They can find the best decision-making strategies.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But as the advances in artificial intelligence become greater,developers are less able to plan and predict what decisions a system will make in a specific situation.”可知,作者认为道德机器背后的程序员不能预测系统的决定。故选B。
8.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Can and Should Machines Act Morally?
B.How and Why Machines Make Moral Decisions?

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2025·陕西咸阳高一检测)
Moral excellence,as Aristotle says,is a result of habit.By practising the following virtues,your life can completely improve in the form of better relationships,performance,and fulfillment of your dreams.
►Commitment(致力于、承诺)
Without commitment,we have little direction or purpose in life. 1 The moment we commit to something,thoughts become action and with true commitment,we become unstoppable.Our commitments either move us towards our goals or further away from our goals. 2 We can continue committing to things that are not working for us or to nothing at all.
►Faith
How hard is it to have faith when things are not going well in life? 3 People have lost their jobs,foreclosed(取消抵押品赎回权)on their homes and lost their insurance.Yet,without faith,it's tough to even get through another day.Having faith provides a spiritual foundation that allows us to push through difficulties again and again.
►Forgiveness
Forgiveness can change the course of our lives.It allows us to place our attention on other things in life. 4 If there is someone you have not forgiven,think about how your lack of forgiveness is affecting your life and consider making an apology to the person so that you can live your best life.
►Gratitude
Gratitude is one virtue that,if practiced,our lives can improve right away.Our natural tendency is to think negatively,which can hurt our well-being.Gratitude helps us to shift negative thoughts to positive ones. 5 Also,grateful people,according to scientific research,recover more quickly from illness,cope better with stress,and benefit in greater physical health.
A.The beauty is that we have a choice.
B.And positive thoughts prevent negative emotions.
C.There is always something to be grateful for in life.
D.Otherwise we may focus our anger and hate on the offender(冒犯者).
E.This bad economy has surely tested the belief of many people.
F.You need courage to be honest with someone about how you really feel.
G.We may easily be affected by our surroundings,rather than being captains of our ships.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章分别阐述了承诺、信仰、宽恕和感激等美德对我们生活的好处。

4.答案:D
解析:上文指出了原谅的好处,可以转移我们的注意力。D选项指出不原谅的坏处,会将我们的注意力转移到冒犯者身上,分别描述了原谅的好处和坏处,符合语境。故选D。
5.答案:B
